The first Clopton in my lineage that was born in the U.S.A. was a Robert Clopton. By his first wife he had a daughter that married a man with the last name of Buck. This man's grandfather was the one that performed the ceremony. The granfather was also the one that gave the prayer for the 1st Continental Congress.
